Description

This map pack was an early bird in 1997, very early for single-player modding. Not without its merit, Fantasy Quake was one the biggest Quake modification of its time, at a whopping 24223 Kilobytes, roughly fifteen times as much as the average map pack. Rise of the Phoenix is a Total Conversion (TC) with almost new everything. Around 20 single-player maps in varying medieval/ fantasy themes and 4 deathmatch maps; multiple player classes to choose from, new weapons, new enemies, etc. The mod was made by Team Phoenix, an all-star team of curated mappers and modders. Years later, it was featured in Rock, Paper, Shotgun's "Quake Renaissance: a short history of 25 years of Quake modding" article.
